Tim is labeled, ‘big shirt, big pants’, and is wearing a baggy long sleeve covered with an even larger t-shirt, very baggy sweats, runners, and chunky headphones around his neck.

Bart is labeled, ‘big shirt, lil pants’, and is wearing an oversized t-shirt partially tucked into shorts, with mismatched socks and shoes.

Cassie is labeled, ‘lil shirt, big pants’, and is wearing a halter top with giant early-2000s hip-huggers (low-cut baggy pants).

Kon-El is labeled, ‘lil shirt, lil pants’ and is wearing tiny shorts, a tight belly shirt, shoes, and socks.

one of my friends (also a leftist) said that because we live in utah, it doesn't matter who he votes for, and there's no way he will vote for a "fucking cop who was complicit in genocide."

he is telling his friends in utah that they have zero say in who is president, so they shouldn't vote for harris.

and, i love him, but i think that line of thinking is really damaging.

if the stakes were lower for this election, then sure! i'm all in favor of third parties, and i do think that should be more normalized. it would be great to get to a point where we have more viable options than just democrats and republicans.

but this election is against trump. if trump wins, we get project 2025.

this isn't your father's republican party that just wanted to lower taxes and have more free trade. we are looking at rights being taken away for several marginalized communities. major changes that will set us back decades. there is too much on the line, and harris needs every single vote she can get.

saying you won't vote for harris because you live in a red state and don't think your vote will count... like a vote for a third party will??

you're really just saying that you don't mind trump winning, or if you do, you aren't willing to actually do what it takes to stop it.

as for being complicit with the genocide, aren't we all? our tax money is going to the genocide. we are complicit, whether we like it or not.

and harris has openly advocated for a ceasefire! also, do you think trump won't be complicit in the genocide? do you not think he would actively support israel? i'd rather have a president that calls for a ceasefire than one who doesn't. i'd rather have a president who is willing to push back on israel than one who be pushed around by israel.

there's more hope for a ceasefire with harris than there is with trump, and that's worth something.

my friend said "when people look back at your history, don't let them see your name next to a war criminal's."

honestly? in this election, i would rather have my name seen next to harris because that shows i understood that the future of our country and the safety of its citizens was more important than my personal moral superiority.

i don't just vote to make a fucking point. i vote because it impacts people's lives.

it seriously feels like some people are okay with watching the country burn, as long as they feel morally superior.

I love these polls. But this feels like a weird and uncomfortable time to continue them. While we are in the process of deciding whether or not to give fascism unlimited power in the greatest military power currently on the planet, these posts feel uncomfortably out of touch with the existential threat facing all of humanity. I cannot enjoy voting in silly polls when I know that all of humankind faces the threat of extermination.

When we can return to a less horrifying reality, I would enjoy revisiting these polls. At the moment, to continue them feels like a cruel celebration of privilege from those who are insulated from the most extreme consequences of current proposed policies. It is hard to think of what level of inhumanity is necessary to continue laughing in the face of so much world-wide horror.

Of course you don't have to stay, and I won't begrudge you at all for going. But there's one point of yours here I feel is worth discussing, and it's your last one: laughing in the face of world-wide horror.

There is a difference between laughing at horrifying things and taking a break to laugh. In a world that is horrifying—and, to be honest, has been horrifying since this blog began, and long before then, and will be after it's done—you need to laugh to keep your endurance. I mean that every step of the way. You will not be able to keep fighting for the people who need your help, including yourself, if you don't give yourself a break and let yourself have joy and silliness in little dollops on the regular.

In my real life, when I'm not posting hot silly people on the hot silly people blog, I try to find ways to help change the world for the better. I've been trying for a while. And one of the key things I've learned in that while is that having a little fun and silliness does not dilute the work of making the world better—it gives you the fuel to keep doing it. Your human brain and body need a muchness. They need joy and sorrow and work and rest and laughter to keep going—and before you say, that's a privilege! yes, in today's broken world it often is. It should not be one. It is a right. You have the right to find spots of joy, silliness, time off from the world.

Stuff sucks right now, but taking ten minutes off to let yourself rest is not going to contribute to the end of the world. We need to rest and laugh if we want to keep going. I've always said this is a silly blog, and I maintain that yes! it is silly, it is pointless, this is nothing big at all. Nothing here has any consequence. And that can be a small good thing at the end of the day. It doesn't mean the big stuff doesn't matter if we have the small stuff too. We can have both. We need both.

I hope you find peace, wherever you are.

A guy on an app asked me what policies I would inact as suprem Empress and I replied that I couldn't respond in any truthful way that didn't make me appear as a complete radical and he said try me so I said okay and laid out things I am sure will get me blocked. We will see

yokozawa was the best “antagonist” in nostalgia, his motivations were understandable but he ended up becoming too invested and crossed a line with his friend and was rightfully forced to distance himself from takano for it and grew as a person as a result. 10/10 no notes

haitani was … fine, he was smarmy and annoying and caused problems on purpose and it loops around to being weirdly funny how petty he is. the fact hes just an ex coworker who became romantically obsessed with takano and when faced with rejection began to cause problems in their shared workspace is scarily realistic honestly. he sucks and hes good at sucking. 8/10 not yokozawa

i think nao is where we reach rock bottom of the antagonists bc hes that one incredibly entitled and overemotional friend you made in high school and now acts like he has full control over whats “best for you” and i kinda genuinely, unironically cant stand him. the road to hell is paved with good intentions and nao is sprinting to the finish line. 3/10 hes lame.

Death to the trope of rewarding disabled characters with an abled body. Death to the trope that a disabled body is a punishment, a sight, something to shame and be ashamed of.

Okay I’ll be the one to say it since i’ve been seeing a good amount of people compare lads to ff7 men : LADS MEN ARE NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL AS FF7 BOYS IN TERMS OF ATTRACTIVENESS

I love the lads men but SEPHIROTH CLEARS ALL OF THEM with his facecard

All I will say on the current Franco Drama™ is that if you are on here trying to justify your like of an Outlast character by claiming they did nothing wrong or are just a victim or anything else, then you are NOT emotionally or mentally prepared to BE an Outlast Fan.

I thought it was pretty well established that we love Franco and Coyle and Phyllis and Eddie and such BECAUSE they are interesting and fucked up and psychosexual and such, not in spite of it all. It's like that one meme, yk the "it's not about who's better than who it's about who's your favourite war criminal" or whatever. If you have to keep justifying to yourself and others why you like the Fucked Up Lil Guy so much, then maybe you just aren't ready to consume the media that the Fucked Up Lil Guy is from? And there's no shame in that, but don't harass people over it, just take a step back, have a breather, and maybe go consume something a shade lighter.

You are more than allowed to like whatever you like, but pretending that that thing isn't as bad as others in the Everyone Sucks And Is Awful game tells me that you just aren't ready for this yet. The rest of us will continue to love Franco, crimes against humanity and all, because he is not real and it does not reflect on us as human beings. This is a horror franchise, there is going to be horror in it, and there is nothing wrong with enjoying that. But you MUST accept it, and playing morality olympics with it is going to get you humbled fast. Everyone sucks and we love that; welcome to Outlast.
